Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi in Rain Taxi Review
Five Carat Soul by James McBride in The Millions
“In this story—and many of the other stories—McBride makes the blunt statement that in American politics, society, and culture, black bodies are expendable. They contribute to American culture, but they do not receive reparation or political and economic capital in return from the body politic…McBride’s fantastical surrealism expands the possibility for readers to consider the meaning of freedom in a mess of complex capitalist, racial, and religious dynamics.”
